Ex 8.2 | Question 8
Text Solution
What is known?
Price of the TV \(= \rm{Rs}\, 13,000\)
Sales tax on the TV \(= 12\%\)
What is Unknown?
Amount Vinod will have to pay if he buys the TV
Reasoning:
Amount Vinod has to pay to buy \(= 13,000 + 12\%\) of \(13,000\)
Steps:
Sales Tax Amount
\(\begin{align}= \frac{{{12}}}{{{100}}} \times{13000} = \rm{Rs}\, 1560\end{align}\)
Amount Vinod has to pay to buy \(= 13,000 + 1560 = \rm{Rs}\, 14,560\)
